Women we work for

Being poor in Pakistan is a "sentence for life". A life of pain, misery & hunger. A life you wish you never had. Add women next to the word "poor" and thats whats at the bottom of pit.

They don't even earn enough to meet the basic nutriton needs! 1 women dies for for every 89 children born. Of the 14 million child labourers in the country, 45% are girls. They are forced into child marriages, abuse and bonded labor.

How Its Done

We help women with short term crisis aid, counselling, skill development, business support and micro grants & aid.

Working philosophy--- Giving women confidence & skills to rebuild their lives. The idea is to make these women access basic necesties of life as keeping the stove burning, putting food on their plate and living a life of dignity.

By empowering them to be "agents of change", we ensure they play their role in community development as sending their children to school, understanding their repsonsibilities and becoming donors from beneficiries.

Impact & Results

Floods in Pakistan were termed as the biggest disaster on earth. When entire villages were washed away, food perished & people were forced to drink water with remains of dead animals and humans

BBC covered our work-- SAF, its members, donors & volunteers became the ray of hope for over 100,000 people in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa: the worst hit province.

We have adopted 712 families in Risalpur, 500 in Nowshera & 1200 in Charsadda. From food to medical aid, we have provided them all.

Our aid to these families has crossed Rs 3 Million for food and Rs 1 Million for medical supplies.
